A saw-mill was erected on the present site of the Monitor Flouring-Mill in 1855 by Frederick Barton. It was not long used as a saw-mill, but additions were made to it and it was converted into a grist-mill the next year. About ten years later it was burned, and an - other and larger mill was erected in its place by Jacob Schriner. This was a merchant mill, and had four run of stones. It was burned, and was succeeded by the Monitor Roller-Mill, which was erected by John Gregg in 1881 on the site of the mill that was burned. It is a frame building, thirty-two by sixty feet in size and three stories in height above the basement. It has three run of stones and six sets of rollers, and its capacity is one hundred and fifty barrels of flour in twenty-four hours. The machinery is pro- pelled by an engine of sixty-five horse-power. It is wholly a merchant mill, and about one-half the flour manufactured in it is sold in the surrounding country.

The balance is sent to St. Louis. A cooperage is at- tached to the mill, and the total number of hands em- ployed in the establishment is eight.

Manchester now has two general stores, two gro- ceries, one variety store, one drug-store, one flour and fced store, one boot and shoe store, onc hotel, three blacksmith-shops, two tin-shops, one tailor-shop, three shoe-shops, two wagon-shops, one cabinet-shop, one meat-market, and one physician.

METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH SOUTH .-- In the absence of any records of an earlier date than 1867, it is not possible to learn the early history of this society. It is known that services by Methodist clergymen were held at a very early date in private houses and barns, before a school-house was erected in this vicinity. A society was formed long since, and preaching was supplied by circuit preachers. This has at times been a station and again a charge on a circuit as changing circumstances have required. A house of worship for this society was first fitted up in 1827, when John Ball purchased a building that had been used for a carding-machine, and seats and a gal- lery were arranged in it. It was used as a church till 1839, when it was sold to Mr. Triplet, and by him converted into a barn. In that year a small framed church was erected near the site of the present house of worship of the society. It was used till 1859, when the present edifice was built. It is of brick with a stone basement, and is forty by sixty feet in size. It is pleasantly located on an elevation a short distance from the Manchester road.

ST. MALACHY'S CATHOLIC CHURCH was organized in 1839 with only a few members. During many years it was visited by priests from the Cathedral at St. Louis, and afterwards from St. Peter's Church at Gravois (Kirkwood). Among those who ministered to this congregation may be named Revs. Jacob Meller and H. Van der Senden. In 1869, Rev. H. V. Kal- mer was appointed parish priest, followed by Revs. James Becker, 1874; A. Mayer, 1875 (died) ; P. Bonaventura, O.S.F., and P. Matthias, O.S.F., 1875 ; H. V. Kalmer, 1876; J. F. M. Diel, 1881.

The present church building was erected in 1851. In 1869 a parsonage was purchased for twelve hun- dred dollars, and the next year an organ was procured at a cost of six hundred dollars, and a lot for a ceme- tery was bought for eight hundred and twenty-five dollars.

A parochial school has been maintained by this congregation since 1851, first in the church, then in a room in the pastor's residence, and in 1871 a build- ing for the purpose was erected. The present teacher is J. H. L.' Kotthoff.

ST. JOHANNES' EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH was organized in 1867 with fifteen members. The first place of worship was a dwelling-house that was purchased and fitted up for the purpose on the site of the present church, a short distance from the rock road. In 1869 the present church edifice was erected at an expense of two thousand dollars. It is a tasteful wooden structurc, thirty by fifty feet in size. A parsonage near the church was built in 1871 at a cost of five hundred dollars. The present mem- bership is thirty-two. The pastors have been Revs. Frederick Koeving, 1867 ; Armen Hauf, 1869 ; - Ries, 1869 ; William Stoeffer, 1871 ; and the present pastor, Frederick Schmidt, 1878.

MAENNERCHOR AND OTHER SOCIETIES .- At a pic- nic held on the 4th of July, 1880, by the German popu- lation of Manchester, the subject of forming a sing- ing society was agitated, and as a result a meeting for the purpose was held on the 8th of the same montli, at which the Maennerchor was organized by the adoption of a constitution and the election of the fol- lowing officers : William Schroeder, president ; Charles Schroeder, vice-president ; William Kruse, treasurer ; and Henry Seibel, secretary. The object of the so- ciety, as set forth in its constitution, was " the culti- vation of vocal music and a refined social intercourse among its members."

For the want of a better place the society met during a year and a half in a room over a black- smith's shop. In 1881 a Saenger Hall, thirty-six by fifty feet in size, was erected, finished in appropriate style, and dedicated on Christmas-day of that year.

The society was incorporated on the 14th of Feb- ruary, 1882, and it has since, as well as before, bcen highly prosperous, and an addition to the hall has be- come necessary. It was the pioneer institution of the kind in the county of St. Louis. The present num- ber of members is seventy-four. The presidents of the society have been William Schroeder, Charles Schroeder, and the present incumbent of the office, Henry Steffen. The musical directors have been Caspar Roesslein and the present director, H. W. Dreyer.

On the 4th of July, 1882, the society was pre- sented by the ladies of Manchester with a silk ban- ner, the cost of which was one hundred dollars.

Bonhomme Lodge, No. 45, F. and A. M., was organized in the early part of 1841, with Peter Kin- caid, W. M .; A. C. Tindal, S. W .; Lewis Dozier, J. W .; I. F. Hale, Sec .; William Bassett, Treas. ; Frederic L. Billon, S. D .; Vespian Ellis, J. D .; and Caleb Carman, Tyler.

Clark, vice-president; Wil- liam Kurtenbaek, seeretary; and Bernard Schuh, treasurer. It is a life insurance and general aid society.

Ballwin is a town of three hundred inhabitants on the Manchester road, twenty miles west from St. Louis. It derived its name from John Ball, who in 1804 came here and loeated a farm where the village now is. In 1837 he laid out the town in blocks, each two hundred and nine feet square, and consisting of four lots. One of these bloeks was re- linquished to the town for a Methodist Episcopal Church, and another adjoining it for a burial-ground. The lots thus laid out were sold as they were required by those who came to make the town their residence, but the early growth of the place was not rapid. Ten years after it was founded there was a store here, kept by Thomas Nichols, also a tavern by John C. Hart- man, and a blacksmith-shop, carried on by Henry Harman. At that time there were twelve dwellings in the town. Sinee then its growth has been gradual and steady till it has reached its present size. An addition to the town of nine blocks has been made, and all have been sold. There are now herc four general stores, two hotels, a saddler, two shoemakers, a cabinet-maker, and two blacksmiths.

In 1849, Frederiek Schelp established at Ballwin a manufactory of wagons and agricultural implements in a small way. The business gradually increased till 1854, when the establishment was burned. It was immediately rebuilt on a larger seale and the business continued.

In 1873 a new and larger shop was rebuilt in place of. this, which was demolished. Since that time facilities have been added as the business has in- ereased, till nine hands are constantly employed. The manufacture of light carriages has been added to the business, for the supply of the home market and for shipping. Since 1881 the business has been conducted by the firm of F. Schelp & Sons.

METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH .- A Methodist Episcopal Society was first organized here in 1846, consisting of twelve members. The first place of worship was a small log building ereeted by Mr. Ball for church and school purposes. In 1855 a frame ehureh building, twenty-four by thirty feet, was ereeted at a cost of one thousand dollars. This was used till 1870, when it was converted into a public school- house, and the present tasteful briek edifice was ereeted. This stands on the Main Street of the town, is thirty-five by fifty-five feet in size, and cost four thousand five hundred dollars. The society owes no debt.

The pastors who have served this society have been Revs. H. Hahman, 1846; Jolın Keck, 1848; John Hoebner, 1849; H. Ellerbeck, 1850; C. Hoeek, 1851; W. Bollert, 1853; H. Toelle, 1854; C. Bonn, 1855 ; H. W. Sehmidt, 1857; W. Koenicke, 1858; W. Floreth, 1860; G. Boeseng, 1862; John Roelle, 1864; Henry Meyer, 1867 ; U. Roeder, 1868 ; W. Schwind, 1871; C. Ska, 1873; J. M. Dewein, 1874; H. Pfaff, 1877; W. Schwind, 1879; Th .. Hehner, 1881. The membership is eighty-one.

MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH (COLORED) of Ballwin was organized about thirty-five years since. In the absence of records but little can be learned of its history. It has a framed house of worship, and about twenty members. The pastors that are remembered were Revs. Emmanuel Cartwright, Willis Stafford, and Tinley Lucas.

ST. MATTHEW'S LODGE, F. AND A. M. (Colored), was organized in June, 1881, with Moses G. Mass, W. M .; Samuel Taggart, S. W .; and Frank Darby, J. W., and five members. It has now sixteen mem- bers, and James Powell is W. M .; Frank Darby, S. W., and Thomas Salernc, J. W.

Fenton .- The town of Fenton was laid out early in the present eentury by William Long, and was named in honor of the female branch of his family.

COUNTY OF SAINT LOUIS.

During many years it had very little the appearance of a village ; no more than two families resided there till 1838. In that year a store and a saw-mill were erected at this place by James Hibbert, and in 1842, Samuel T. Vandover and David Sigler established small storcs (Mr. Hibbert having removed) in log buildings, neither of which is now standing. At about the same time when Mr. Vandover opened his store he started the first blacksmith-shop here, and during many years the village consisted of no more than six families. In 1833, Mr. Vandover, Caleb Bowles, Samuel Rudder, and several other residents of the vicinity established a private ferry over the Meramec River, on the south side of which the town is located, and in 1835, Jabez Ferris established at this point the first public ferry, which he conducted till his death in 1848, after which Mr. Vandover and Mr. Bowles carried it on till the erection of the bridge over the river here. This bridge was built in 1854- 55 by a company that was chartered by the Legisla- ture. Of this company Samuel T. Vandover was the first president, followed in 1862 by Isaac Sullens. The bridge was built by J. C. Hall, contractor, and its cost was nineteen thousand dollars. By a pro- vision in the charter the county might at any time become the owner of this bridge by paying for the stock held by individuals. This was done in 1874, and the bridge became free. It is a wooden Howe- truss bridge, built on piers, and it has a length of four hundred and eighty feet. This bridge affords a cross- ing for the Gravois road, which connects Fenton di- rectly with St. Louis. The town has grown to its present size (about one hundred and fifty inhabitants) within the last twelve years. In 1882 a fire oc- curred which consumed four buildings in the centre of the town.

Fenton was incorporated Dec. 28, 1874. The first board of trustees was composed of Jacob Fritschle, James M. Bowles, Charles Williams, Henry Temper, and E. J. Thurman. The presidents of the board have been Jacob Fritschle, 1874; E. J. Thurman, 1876; Henry Temper, 1877 ; John Desalmc, 1879; Henry Temper, 1880; John Desalme, 1882. The clerks of the board have been James M. Bowles, 1874; Anthony Roberts, 1876 ; and Frederick Weh- meyer, 1879. The town has two stores, one hotel, one drug-store, one wagon-shop, one blacksmith-shop, one shoe-shop, and two physicians.

Many years since a saw-mill was built at Fenton. On the foundation of this, in 1872, James Halpine erected a corn- and flour-mill, and this he sold to Henry Temper in 1875. On the site of this Mr. Temper in 1878 erected the present Fenton Flouring-

Mill. It is a frame building, forty-two by twenty- four fcet, besides the stone engine-house which ad- joins it. It has three run of stones and a set of rollers, and the machinery is driven by an engine of fifty horsc-power. It is a merchant mill, and the flour manufactured here is sold in St. Louis and in various other markets in this region. About twenty thousand barrels of flour are annually manufactured in this mill. The barrels for this flour are made in a cooperage which is carried on by Mr. Temper. Twelve hands are constantly employed at this establishment.

FENTON METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH SOUTH. -At an early day a class was in existence in the vicinity of Fenton, and the name of William Brock is remembered as one of the early leaders of this class. Thomas Williams is remembered as the first local preacher here.

A society was organized about 1830, and services were held in the houses of Thomas Williams and others in the vicinity. A small log church, which is still standing, was erected on the Gravois road pre- vious to 1840, and here the society worshiped till 1860. In that year the present church edifice was erected in Fenton. It is a neat frame building, thirty by thirty-five feet in size, and its cost was one thousand dollars, which was paid before the dedication of the church, and the society has now no debt.

In 1844 the society became divided, a portion affili- ating with the Methodist Episcopal Church North. This schism has ceased to exist. A portion of the records of this society have been lost or mislaid, but the following names of preachers who have served the church are remembered : Revs. J. N. W. Springer, William Alexander, T. M. Cobb, George W. Horn, Nathaniel Talbott, John W. Robinson, and J. M. Clayton. Others whose names cannot be recalled have officiated here.

ST. PAUL'S (CATHOLIC) CHURCH, FENTON .- A church building was erected in Fenton in 1879, and services were first held in it on Christmas in that year. It is a wooden building, thirty-two by twenty-six, and its cost was thirteen hundred dollars.

The congregation consists of about forty families, one-half of whom are German, and services are held in both German and English. The congregation is served by the pastor of St. Peter's Church in Kirk- wood. Although this is a young organization, it has no debt.

FENTON LODGE, No. 281, F. AND A. M., was or- ganized May 2, 1868. The charter members were H. S. Jacobi, W. M .; - Stelham, S. W .; A. Bowles, J. W .; T. S. Long, S. D .; James Bowles, J. D .; John R. Vandover, Sec .; William L. Pipkin,

Kirkwood.1-" The town of Kirkwood was founded in the early part of the year 1853. During that year the Pacific Railroad was in process of construc- tion. H. W. Leffingwell, R. S. Elliott, and others, being impressed with the necessity of a suburban home for families who desired pure air, and to rear their children away from the contaminating influences of a large eity, initiated a movement to build a town on some high, healthy locality on the line of the Pacifie Railroad, a short distance from and easily accessible to St. Louis.

" An association was organized composed of forty persons, ineluding many of the best men of St. Louis, for the purpose of selecting and purchasing a site for the town. This duty was by the association assigned to H. W. Leffingwell and William R. Pry. They ex-

amined several eligible localities east of the one finally selected, but at last determined to 'cast their lots' among the beautiful groves where sinec has grown the pleasant and substantial town of Kirkwood.

" They purchased of Owen Collins one hundred and twenty acres for twelve thousand dollars, of Thomas Wash eighty aeres for six thousand four hundred dol- lars, and A. S. Mitehell forty acres for three thousand dollars, making two hundred and forty aeres for the town site, at a cost of twenty-one thousand four hun- dred dollars.

" The grounds were then surveyed and divided into forty blocks, and these blocks sub-divided into lots, and wide avenues and one street were laid out at right angles, as follows : Beginning on the north and going south were established the avenues named Washing- ton, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe, with Main Street located between Jefferson and Madison Avenues; on the west and going east, Jackson, Van Buren, Harrison, Clay, Webster, Taylor, and Fillmore Avenues, leaving off the names of some of our illus- trious Presidents and substituting the no less illus- trious names of Clay and Webster.

" The hotel bloek they then located on the west side of the town block bounded by Webster, Jefferson, and Taylor Avenues and Main Street, and a hotel of rare architectural beauty, fronting on Main Street, was ereeted at a cost of fourteen thousand dollars. This hotel was destroyed by fire in December, 1867.

" The lots were sold at auction May 26, 1853, the prices ranging from two hundred dollars to seven hun- dred dollars per acre. The name of the town was then to be selected, and the very appropriate and euphonious name of ' Kirkwood' was proposed by Mr. R. S. Elliott and adopted by the association, partly from respeet to James P. Kirkwood, then chief engi- neer of the Pacific Railroad, and partly in view of the faet that the building of churches (kirks) in the wood or groves of the town was already contemplated, thius suggesting Kirkwood.

" The year following there were added to the town blocks on the east and south, divided by the following streets and avenues : On the east, Smith and Walker Strects and Clark and Holmes Avenues; on the south, Scott, Elliott, and Leffingwell Avenues.

"The first charter incorporating the town was granted by the Missouri General Assembly, Feb. 20, 1865, and amended Feb. 27, 1869."

In 1870 the population of the town was twelve hundred. In 1880 it was reported by the census marshal at twelve hundred and eighty, but this was believed to be less than the true number. It is now (1883) estimated at two thousand.

1 This sketch of this town was prepared by W. S. Stewart in 1875, and embraces the main facts in its history to that time.
